I'm a wife, mother, rescue dog mom of 3, loyal friend, freelance artist & art teacher. I'm classically trained, have won several artistic merit awards, including paintings hanging in my local government office and currently reside in Southern California.  I possess a Single Subject teaching degree in Art and was blessed to travel a semester abroad at the Royal College of Art in London UK - what a dream!

I began art as a young child, my father was a creative from NY and worked in old TV shows like The Incredible Hulk, Partridge Family, and Bionic Woman - while my mother had artistic talent too as a freelance technical & medical drawing artist.  They were both first generation Americans from European Immigrants-musicians from escaping Nazi rule in WWII?!  Guess you could say that I'm from a long line of creatives, grew up going to art fairs, museums and have been blessed to travel to 27 countries & counting.  Was born and raised in LA, went to college in SD and spent summers visiting family in New York.  As an only child, when my mother grew ill - I began to excel in the arts and sciences winning awards at school.  I decided to become an art teacher and studied at SDSU in the early 90s (maybe before you were born - lol) Have friends all over the world and absolutely love love and love all kinds of people which works well at weddings!  To me- weddings are the most beautiful days and feel blessed to offer this service to my clients.  My paintings are always straight from the heart- created out of joy and made with love,  

Thank you for your time- I believe in synchronicities and feel you are here for a reason and so glad you found me!  Blessings on your journey- as a good friend says "enjoy the ride" & hope to hear from you soon!
